221B Baker Street (Sherlock Holmes’ house) this morning, Ibiza tonight, sounds like a good day to turn 23!

Last night I spontaneously saw Billy Elliot! I didn’t know I was going to go until about an hour and a half before it started. We got last minute seats for £19.50 and even though they were these chairs off to the side, no one was sitting in this real seats right across the aisle so we got to sit in those!
The show was obviously amazeballs. The kid who played Billy was just like tap dancing and ballet-ing and singing and acting his little face off. He seriously was doing like back flips off of walls and pianos. Talent is amazing to me.
But the best part was that there was this little mini in the ensemble who was seriously like maybe 4 years old. He was SO cute, and he sang all of the songs and danced and had a few lines, soooo precious. I wanted to kidnap him.
One of the best £19.50 I ever spent, fsho.

The Language Barrier
You’d think after living in London for almost 4 months, I’d be used to accents, the different words for things, etc. Nope.
First, the other day I was at a seamstress, having my graduation dress altered. We were talking about how it’s good that it’s made of this very light silky material, since it’s going to be so hot in Chapel Hill at graduation. I said something to the affect of “It’s literally going to be, like, 100 degrees there”. But I totally forgot that 100 degrees Fahrenheit is like 500 degrees Celsius… and in England they use Celsius. So I mean, that’d be like I said “It’s LITERALLY going to be 500 degrees there”… which it literally isn’t. Dur.
But this one’s even funnier. I was at school handing in my papers on Monday and I stopped in this little cafe there to grab a tea. The woman working there was, I believe, Scottish. And so I asked, “How much is that?” and she said “It depends.” And I said, “On what…? Like, how much is just that small tea?” and she said “It depends.” And I said, “I don’t understand. Is there not a fixed price for the tea?” and she said “It depends” and kept staring at me like I was insane. I was SO confused. But then all of the sudden it occurred to me—her accent made it sound like she was saying “Itdee pends”. But she was saying “Eighty pence”! So I said “OOOOH oh my gosh I’m sorry I thought you were saying IT-DEE-PENDS” and she laughed and said “Oh yis must be me accent!” and I said “Yeah, mine too!” and we had a good laugh and I got my tea for the cheap price of it depends.

Finally done with my freaking PAPERS
What I feel like I’ve been doing the past 3 weeks:
How I feel now:
…cept I just got an email from my professor saying that I can write a 4000 word paper instead of having to fly back to England to take my May 31 exam… which is good… but I am going to be the only person in the world who has an assignment due AFTER she graduates. Whatever. It’s not due til the end of May. But… ugh.

I’m writing this paper about German movie stars for my film class, and this very famous 1930s German actor, Willy Fritsch, looks just like Jason Segel. Something about those dimples and that look in their eyes. In the film I had to watch, Die Drei von der Tankstelle, his mannerisms and his big grin are very similar too. I dunno, just thought that was funny.
